Description

Shoulder fragment of a thick-walled pithos. Two registers of downward-pointing incised triangles with diagonal crosshatching. The upper register is on a slightly raised ridge. The two registers of triangles alternate with one another. The decorator in one instance neglected to fill in a triangle, and made a diamond with diagonal crosshatching instead.
